Playing Chicken

Get off the Path at the 33rd Street Station, take the 32nd Street exit heading east and you’ll see this, a block away, 5th Avenue. I’ll probably try it if they have non fried foods, hard to say with Asian fusion, which this seems to be an example there of. But what bothered me was the other day, workers from a different hemisphere, ladders braced on the sidewalk, just caution tape, somebody just urging people to keep walking. As bad as Jersey City can be, construction in New York is worse. It has to be a hot bed of corruption and bribes, either a lack of or a complete and total ignoring of regulations. Pedestrian Safety is at best, an after thought by city government, regulators and construction crews.
